TORONTO, Nov. 9, 2022
/CNW/ - Mondelēz International is introducing Canadians to a new
chocolatey confection for the those looking for a vegan alternative
to the classic, creamy Cadbury Dairy Milk taste. The Cadbury
Plant Bar is available at retailers nationwide in two flavours:
Chocolatey Smooth and Salted Caramel to offer Canadians even more
choice when looking for a moment of indulgence.
"We know many Cadbury-lovers have been excited for the arrival
of the Cadbury Plant Bar, since it launched in the UK last
year, and we're delighted to finally have a vegan option for
Canadians," said Chantal Butler,
Vice President, Marketing, Mondelēz Canada. "As one of the leaders in snacking, we
know Canadians' tastes are changing, which is why it's our ambition
to provide a wide range of products for snack lovers with even more
choices to suit their lifestyles."
Developed over two years at Mondelēz International's Global
Centre of Excellence for Chocolate Research and Development in
Bournville, UK, the Cadbury Plant Bar is made with
almond paste instead of milk. This provides a plant-based
alternative to the classic Cadbury Dairy Milk, with a hint
of nuttiness. The bars are registered with the Vegan Society of the
UK and meet their quality standards allowing use of the Vegan logo
on packaging.
